ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Aaysha Cader interviews Rouchelle Sriranjan about the results of the IVORY and IVORY 2 trials which she presented at the ESC Congress 2024 in London.

The trials examined low-dose interleukin-2 therapy to reduce arterial inflammation in acute coronary syndrome patients. The study found a 7.7% reduction in arterial inflammation...

The rationale for this study was to provide direct evidence of colchicine's effects on plaque stabilization, particularly by assessing changes in plaque characteristics using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Aaysha Cader interviews Gianluca Campo about the EARTH-STEMI trial he presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London.

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate a large cohort of STEMI patients, predominantly comorbid, with a mean age of 79 and extended long-term follow-up. The key findings revealed that complete revascularisation reduced the...

What was new and hot in interventional cardiology at #ESCCongress 2024!

Explore evidence on complete revascularisation for patients with STEMI or NSTEMI and multivessel disease, and provide insights into the roles of intracoronary guidance by physiology and imaging.

This trial found that, in ACS patients undergoing PCI, DP-DES and BP-DES had similar patient-oriented outcomes at three years, but BP-DES had higher device-oriented composite outcomes, mainly due to increased TLR risk.

This pre-specified substudy of CompareCrush aimed to examine if patients with a large myocardial infarction benefit from prehospital crushed prasugrel.

Watch the replay of this webinar with S. Biscaglia, V. Paradies and P. Smits on how to learn about new evidence for complete revascularisation in ACS and much more!

This session features selected EuroPCR 2024 clinical case submissions highlighting unusual presentations of acute coronary syndromes. Cases cover topics such as a "ring" completing the "crown", recurrent vasospastic angina culminating in STEMI, myocardial infarction of unusual cause, and primary PCI in dextrocardia. Discussions emphasize the importance...
